Writer: Maintaining ideas

Or how to avoid becoming bored.

Bored?

Writing has a flow and there are times you’ll hit a slow area and need to remember the storyline. Remember the direction you wanted to go. And, how to get there.

Staying on track with the main piece and not giving into side ideas – no matter how tempting. Keep notes for new stories.

Make yourself a routine, if working more than one manuscript at a time.

Spend time starring at nothing and let your mind drift to new ideas.

Keep notes, even if only one word. Did I repeat…keep notes.

Sometimes you will need to slap yourself upside the head and just plunge forward.

Never quit.
